Alice (TV Mini Series)

Previously on Alice...

How would you like to meet my family?

This is too fast.

Goodbye, Jack.

Honey, listen, just because daddy left

doesn't mean they all Will.

Jack!

Jack took something that didn't belong to him.

We need it back.

: What is this place?

: Wonderland.

: That's a story in a kid's book.

: Does this look like a kid's story to you?

Who are you?

They call me "hatter."

I know people who like to help your kind.

She's wearing the Stone of wonderland.

It controls the looking glass.

: The looking glass

is the only way to get you back home.

: Then help me get Jack out of the casino.

: She's running around wonderland

with my ring.

We'll find her.

Is mad march alive yet?

I've had to make some technical adjustments.

: I need you to find someone--

a girl.

Run.

I am a knight--

White knight.

I thought all you guys were wiped out years ago.

Maybe he can help us.

Hello, Alice.

She's gone to the hearts casino.

But that's certain death.

Jack!

I was really curious to see what sort of tart

my son was hanging around with these days.

You're her son?

He's here.

: Daddy!

: You're going to tell us

where you hid the ring.

Take her to the truth room.

Don't you want to know where I've hidden the ring?

And now Alice continues.

Ah...

She's back up.

If you kill me,

the queen won't get her ring.

So tell us where it is.

Not until you get me out of here.

If you don't tell us...

...we may as well kill you.

And then we'll just have to tell the queen

it was an accident.

It happens all the time!

So who is this girl, hmm?

Who's Alice?

Have another little sip of "honesty," Jack.

Tell me everything about her.

: Alice...?

Yes?

Alice is innocent.

Oh, of course she is.

So why did you choose her, Jack?

I...

Hmm?

I...

Yes.

I mean, you went to her for a reason, didn't you?

Come on.

I needed her.

To what?

What?

What?

The queen wants you.

Now.

I almost had it...

You idiot.

The board's holding her up.

So it is.

What would happen

if it disappeared, I wonder?

: Stop!

"We're awfully sorry, your majesty,

but the girl just wouldn't cooperate."

"We tried everything--

shrunk her down to size..."

"...tickled her darkest fear."

Wait!

I'll tell you where it is.

You'd better be quick!

It has a mind of its own.

I have to write it down.

It's complicated!

I need to draw a map!

A map?

It's the only way you'll find it.

Ho-hum. Very well. If you must.

Hi.

Who the hell are you?

We're the New act.

Robinson and... duckworth.

He's Robinson, I'm duckworth.

We're... guardians

to the mesmeric portals of the cosmos.

Huh?

Stage hypnotists.

: This is good fun.

: He means the act is, uh...

Good fun...

When we do it.

You got clearance for stage hypnotists?

: You've had Jack

for three days now,

and got nothing out of him.

The whole point

of having you marry the rebellious toad

is so that I can keep an eye on him.

If you can't handle him,

I'll marry him to someone who can.

Your son has a very strong heart,

and if I didn't know any better,

I'd think he just fell in love with this Alice.

No. He singled her out for a reason.

He wouldn't have spent so much time wooing her

unless she was useful to him.

I'm certain of it.

Well, we're in,

but we don't have much time.

We should split up

and search intermediate floors.

Why?

Why?

Because we don't know where she is.

I shall reach into the mist

to lift the heavy veil that shrouds the oracle.

: Ahh...

Galadoon...

...de booshe!

What are you doing?

: Down here!

Take the second left at the stairs

that lead up to the third floor, then after the double doors,

take the third walkway on the right,

over the fitness center to reception "b,"

and ask Sheila! Ha.

Sheila?

Maybe it's "shakena?"

Come on!

: Whoa!

Hatter!

: Who's that?

: Go away! This is a private session!

Jump!

Get rid of him!

Oh! How did you get in here?

I don't know. Ask Charlie.

Believe it or not, we're in your head!

What?

Don't ask.

: Sanctus deo!

We have it!

We have it!

Come on!

This way!

Up! Why up?

Do we have a choice?

Alice of legend,

your presence in this world is no accident.

You are here for a reason.

Please, Charlie, it's just plain "Alice."

Justplainalice,

I Will stand at your side, shoulder-to-shoulder,

knee-to--

Charlie--

...wobbly knee--

...now's not such a good time.

You guys shouldn't have come.

You could get yourselves killed.

Did you give the ring up, Alice?

I have things under control.
